8 Reasons You Should Roadtrip With Your Friends This Summer

Recently, I had the distinct pleasure of taking a road trip to Montreal with some of my closest friends. This trip brought me so much more than I ever thought it would and let me tell you why you need to take a road trip with your friends.

1) You get to spend countless hours singing loudly with the people who make you smile.

Taking an endless car ride with your friends gives you plenty of time to sing at the top of your lungs and learn so many new songs that you immediately want to download to your music. Everyone is singing together, at the top of their lungs, to the same song. Honestly, it's sort of adorable.

2) You learn more about your friends than you ever thought you could.

Being crammed into a car with you friends for a long car ride forces you to get to know them in ways you never thought that you would. At the time, it mights not seem like the greatest thing, but in hindsight, you become endlessly grateful.

3) SO. MANY. SNACKS.

Everyone brings the snacks they want so by the time you get yourselves into the car and all your stuff, you cannot see out of the window because there are so many snacks.

4) You'll laugh 'til you cry.

I have never laughed as hard as I did in that car with my friends. I had tears streaming down my face. You laugh together, cry together. It's really the best experience.

5) You discover amazing food joints.

Every time you stop, you can find some little food joint that is tucked away and never gets much notice. You grab your food and go and are often plesantly surprised by the amazing food you are eating.

6) You'll have have a new appreciation for leg room.

Being crammed into a car with all of your friends gives you an entirely new appreciation for leg room in the driver seat.

7) You learn to put your phone down and just enjoy what is happening right in front of you.

I put my phone down in the car and just hung out with the people I was with for the first time in longer than I would like to admit. We all are attached to our cell phones way more than we should be. It was a fantastic break from the burden of my iPhone and all of the social media that comes with it.

8) Oh, the places you'll see!

I got to experience the mountains of New England, and the farm land of Canada that I otherwise would not have been able to see. You can see the true beauty of the world around you and experience it with your closest friends.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
